Given that the mechanism we've defined uses DMARC records to make the
determination, I don't think it would be useful to separate it into a different
document. If we ever get an approach that's not DMARC specific, then I think
it would make sense to document it independently.
I see there's some sort of activity on the DBOUND list again. If this ever
produces a useful output, it would be useful to consider its potential
applicability to DMARC. I don't think we should worry about it now.
I think we have a good design that will provide what DMARC needs and we should
get on with it.
